DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 1-5, a specific structure of a toaster according to one optional embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0024] The toaster comprises a toaster body 10. The toaster body 10 defines a plurality of toasting grooves 11. The plurality of toasting grooves 11 is arranged from front to rear. Each of the toasting grooves 11 extends from left to right. A toasting device 12 is arranged in each of the toasting grooves 11. In the embodiment, two toasting grooves 11 are provided, and the number of toasting grooves is not limited thereto. The toaster body 10 comprises a bottom shell 13.

[0025] A support base 20 is arranged on a lower end of a front side of the toaster body 10. The support base 20 extends forwards. A heating device 30 is arranged on the support base 20. A heating box 40 is detachably arranged on the heating device 30. A first control panel 50 configured to control each toasting device 12 and a second control panel 60 configured to control the heating device 30 are arranged on a top surface of the toaster body 10.

[0026] Specifically, the support base 20 comprises a bottom cover 21 and a main body 22. The bottom cover 21 is integrally formed with the bottom shell 13. The bottom cover 21 extends forwards from a front side of the bottom shell 13 to form a one-piece structure. The main body 22 is arranged on the bottom cover 21. An upper surface of the main body 22 recesses to form a concave cavity 201. The heating device 30 is embedded in the concave cavity 201 to limit a position of the heating device 30. The heating box 40 is embedded in the concave cavity 201 to be positioned and contacts the heating device 30, so the heating box 40 is stably arranged.

[0027] The heating device 30 comprises a heating plate 31 and a heating pipe 32. An upper surface of the heating plate 31 is attached to a bottom surface of the heating box 40. The heating pipe 32 is welded on a lower surface of the heating plate 31. The heating pipe 32 is electrically connected to the second control panel 60. The heating device 30 has a simple structure, fast heating speed and high efficiency.

[0028] The heating box 40 comprises a box body 41, a steaming rack 42, and a box cover 43. The box body 41 defines an accommodating cavity 401. The accommodating cavity 401 defines an opening facing upwards. A bottom surface of one end of the accommodating cavity 401 is flat. The steaming rack 42 is detachably arranged in the accommodating cavity 401, so eggs can be placed on the steaming rack 42 for steaming. The box cover 43 is detachably arranged on the box body 41 and covers the opening of the accommodating cavity 401. A lifting handle 402 is arranged on a middle of a top portion of the box cover 43, so the box cover 43 is convenient to lift from or cover on the box cover 43.

[0029] A handle 44 is detachably arranged on a middle of a front side of the box body 41. The handle 44 extends forwards, so the box body 41 is lifted by the handle 44. Further, the handle 44 is removed as needed to save space for storage. Specifically, a connecting piece 45 is riveted to the front side of the box body 41. A clamping groove 403 defining a downward opening is formed between the connecting piece 45 and the front side of the box body 41. A clamping sheet 441 is arranged on a connecting end of the handle 44. The clamping sheet 441 is matched with the clamping groove 403. The clamping sheet 441 is inserted into the clamping groove 403 from bottom to top and is limited in the clamping groove 403. The handle 44 has a simple structure and is easy to assemble.

[0030] Furthermore, in the embodiment, the connecting piece 45 defines two limiting holes 404. The two limiting holes 404 are symmetrically arranged from left to right relative to an axial direction of the handle 44. The clamping sheet 441 comprises two elastic limiting bars 405. The two elastic limiting bars 405 are respectively clamped in the limiting holes 404 for positioning, making connection thereof stable. When the handle 44 is in use, the clamping sheet 441 of the handle 44 is inserted into and limited in the clamping groove 403 from bottom to top, so that the two elastic limiting bars 405 are respectively limited in the limiting holes 404 to realize an installation of the handle 44. When the handle 44 is not in use, the handle 44 is removed by pressing the handle 44 downward relative to the box body 41, so that the two elastic limiting bars 405 are released from the limiting holes 404, and the handle 44 is able to be placed in the accommodating cavity 401 for storage, which is very convenient.

[0031] The first control panel 50 and the second control panel 60 are arranged from rear to front and are arranged on a same side of the plurality of toasting grooves 11, so the toaster is convenient to operate.

[0032] A working principle of the toaster of the present disclosure is as follow.

[0033] When it is necessary to toast bread slices, the bread slices are inserted into corresponding toasting grooves 11, and then each toasting device is controlled to work through the first control panel 50, and the bread slices are toasted by the corresponding toasting devices 12.

[0034] When it is necessary to fry bacon, eggs, etc., the handle 44 is connected to the box body 41, and the handle 44 is lifted to place the heating box 40 on the heating device 30. Then the box cover 43 and the steaming rack 42 are removed. The second control panel 60 is then operated to control the heating device 30 to work to heat the box body 41. At this time, the bacon, eggs, etc. can be put into the box body 41 for frying.

[0035] When it is necessary to steam the eggs and other food, an appropriate amount of water is added into the accommodating cavity 401, the steaming rack is placed in the accommodating cavity, and then the eggs and other fool are placed on the steaming rack 42. Then the box cover 43 is covered on the box body 41. The second control panel 60 is operated to turn on the heating device 30, and the heating device 30 works to heat the box body 41, so the eggs and other food are steamed.

[0036] In the present disclosure, the support base is arranged on the lower end of the front side of the toaster body, the heating device is arranged on the support base, and the heating box is detachably arranged on the heating device. The heating box is configured to fry or steam food, so that the toaster can not only toast bread, but also fry and steam other foods, and thus the toaster has multiple functions. Further, the first control panel and the second control panel are arranged on the top surface of the toaster body, which facilitates operation and saves space, and further makes a structure of the toaster compact. Therefore, the toaster is convenient to place, store, package and transport, and brings convenience to both users and manufacturers.

[0037] Foregoing descriptions are only optional embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any minor modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made to the above embodiments based on the technical substance of the present disclosure should be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
